when my girlfirend( who is vietnamese) came home raving about a new vietnamese resturant she found. i was skeptical. i have had some bad experiences whith vietnamese restuarants in garden grove. they were either too dirty or didn't speak english. but she kept on bragging about Saigon dish and its friendly owner. so i reluctantly tried and i was not disappointed. After eating there many times for the past 2 months, i have to say it is easily one of the best Asian resurants in all of the Southbay..bar none.\r
the resutarant is ridiculously clean. the decor is very contemporary and modern. they play either jazz or classical music. the food is very tasty. the pho was very flavorful and the meat was lean not fatty like other pho places. i love the #46. its filet minion with rice. that meat is so tender and the sauce that they marinate the meat in is to die for. gotta try that dish. my girlfriend loves the pho dac biet. i'm addicted to their iced coffee. but what makes Saigon Dish stand out from all the other pho places is the combination of good food, clean restuarant and excellent customer service skills. John, the owner, has the best customer service skill i have ever seen at any restaurant ..period. the way he remembers everybodys name and what the like to eat is absolutely amazing. at first i thought he was friendly because that was his job. but after eating ther many time and seeing how he interacts with both the male and female young and old customers alike. i think he is genuinely that friendly to everyone. So i highly recommend SAIGON DISH to everyone. i try to bring as many people as i can. PS if its your first time, try to avoid being helped by an employee they affectionately call :""jo"". he means well but as a habit of always meesing up my order. but i tell john and he fixes it. if possible have john help you. unless its busy. ""jo"" either can't speak or understand english very well but some always gets my order wrong.
